Description for The Seiberg-Witten Equations and Applications to the Topology of Smooth Four-Manifolds. (MN-44), Volume 44
Paperback. The introduction of the Seiberg-Witten invariants of smooth four-manifolds has revolutionized the study of those manifolds. This book serves as an introduction to the Seiberg-Witten invariants. It also includes a review of the classical material on Spin c structures and their associated Dirac operators. Series: Mathematical Notes. Num Pages: 130 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PBM; PBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 234 x 152 x 12. Weight in Grams: 228.
The recent introduction of the Seiberg-Witten invariants of smooth four-manifolds has revolutionized the study of those manifolds. The invariants are gauge-theoretic in nature and are close cousins of the much-studied SU(2)-invariants defined over fifteen years ago by Donaldson. On a practical level, the new invariants have proved to be more powerful and have led to a vast generalization of earlier results. This book is an introduction to the Seiberg-Witten invariants. The work begins with a review of the classical material on Spin c structures and their associated Dirac operators. Next comes a discussion of the Seiberg-Witten equations, which is set ... Read more
